Today marks a special anniversary for science, celebrating the discovery of DNA's double helix in 1953 -- and the successful completion of the human genome project 15 years ago. To commemorate these milestones, Congress designated April 25th as National DNA Day.

Dr. Wilson Tang, director of Cleveland Clinic's Center for Clinical Genomics, joined Rick Jackson to discuss these advances and their lasting impact.
